Super helpful! Two tips I've worked out to pay you back a bit: 1) To help get the yarn down on those small (and as you mentioned, slippery) pegs, I cut off a piece of a drinking straw just a few inches long and thread the yarn through it. (Someone else suggested a pen, but a straw works better for me with ones this small.) 2) I have some tiny spring clamps from the hardware store, and when I need to keep an end in place, I clamp the yarn to the extra pegs I'm not using. I hope that is helpful!
thank you michelle. what a wonderfully put together video. i’m new to ‘looms’ but i think i’m getting. the hang of it. such a doll. keep doing what you do
Just wanted to tell you I pray for you almost daily. I purchased a small leather notebook (several actually) but I use the leather one with the tree on the spine and across the top, wild flowers on the bottom with a bunny on the front and white fox on the back. It is lovely and wearing well. I keep my mileage for work in it. So, thin of you often and pray for you too. Enjoy all your videos.
Thank you so much for this!!! I just watched the Lobsided Crafter video and tried to translate it to my rectangle loom and could not figure it out. Diagonal was the key! Thanks again!
Or you can simply use the center peg of the 5 side pegs as the sides of the sock instead of worrying with corners. You can also tape your tail to the loom so you can have both hands free, also take a plastic click ink pen and remove the longest tube of the pen, thread your yarn down through the tube and use it to quickly and accurately wrap your pegs quickly..
Do you mean socks with individual toes 🦶or knitting a normal sock 🧦by knitting the toe of the sock first (a toe-up sock)? I don’t know how to knit a sock with individual toes. But, for a normal sock with the toe knit first, cast on like in this video, then go to the links in the description for the Vanilla sock and follow those instructions. I am sorry, but I personally don’t have the time to make a video of how to loom knit an entire sock. 😞
Ones with individual toes. I'm following another video but once I start the flat stitches the work gets so tight I can't continue. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
@@Sakura_Wulf I’ve had the flat knit get too tight also, so I suggest not using a flat knit. Try a u-knit and keep it a little looser than you normally would. That is what I have to do with all my socks now. The flat knit is the tightest off all the loom knit stitches. I hope this helps.
Your video was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

Thank you, Sharon! I truly appreciate the prayers and am so glad the TN is working well after all these years. I hope you are doing well. ✝️❤️

I find it easier to do the short rows for the toe and heel with the loom set up as I have shown in the video. This is what works best for me.
Thank you SO MUCH!
I’m glad this is helpful for you!
I have that loom but I'm trying to do toe socks, I just can't get it. Can you do a how to for toe socks?
